This sunny corner home in Deanwood gives you something rare in DC: real space, on a quiet block, with parks and transit in easy reach. With four true bedrooms, three full baths, and about 1,800 square feet, 5643 Clay Place NE works just as well for roommates as it does for a household that needs separate bedrooms, an office, and room to recharge.
The main level is open and bright, with hardwood floors and large windows that pull in light throughout the day. An updated kitchen with white counters, stainless steel appliances, and solid cabinet space keeps cooking practical, not fussy. Upstairs and down, generous closets and a smart bedroom layout make it easier to stay organized instead of living out of bins.
Step outside and you're in Deanwood, one of DC's historic neighborhoods, known for its small-town feel, tree-lined streets, and easy access to the rest of the city. Within roughly a 1015 minute walk you can be at Capitol Heights Metro on the Blue/Silver line, with Minnesota Avenue and Deanwood stations a short drive away, plus quick access to 295, Route 50, and the BW Parkway for heading downtown or out of town.
Weekends tilt outdoors: Deanwood Recreation Center and Library offer an indoor pool, gym, basketball courts, playground, and full-service library; Marvin Gaye Park stretches along the nearby creek as DC's longest linear park; and Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens and the Anacostia River trails are close enough for regular walks, runs, or bike rides. Everyday needs are covered along Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue and Dix Street NE, where you'll find local shops, carry-outs, and services without leaving the neighborhood.
